#FebruaryWorldbuilders - 22 The Ministry runs Ardenheim, headed by the Council of Firsts, something like a collection of high cardinals. The Lower, Medium, and High Councils all have progressively fewer members and are progressively more secretive. #writers #fantasy #writingcommunity

I do not believe in any tech product where the devs want us to view it with some form of religious awe, a divine gift redefining human experience and bequeathing knowledge unto us humble land apes. I believe in a tech product where the devs are like “this is handy for planning breakfasts”

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

#FantasyIndiesFebruary - 16 Cat's Cradle. Working through Vonnegut's canon. His blend of sci-fi and intense human truth is mind-blowing. 🤯 #writingcommunity #fantasy #writers

Feel like it's a fatal flaw humans can't take direct control of their bodies? Like, you cut you finger off and are gonna bleed out? Just tell your blood to stop going to that finger, idiot! There are no flaws with this idea. None. Zero.

#FantasyIndiesFebruary - 12 Shh, don't tell anybody... 🤫 Helia is a huge sap. A lover of bleeding-heart poetry. A romantic fool. Except... she's conviced herself she's unworthy of love. So she pines, endlessly, pointlessly. 💔 #fantasy #writing #writingcommunity

#writingcommunity, is it just me or has Word's spell/grammar-checker gotten a lot worse recently? I swear, it just trips over basic sentences and verb tenses these days.

Football would be improved with a designated Banner-Bearer position. If a banner falls, all that team's players have to weep and gnash their teeth and grieve like a Renissance painting.

My favorite method of writing is to scribble like a scotch-addled 19th century philosophy professor being chased by monkeys onto random pieces of paper then get mad when i can't find what I wrote (probably using it as a bookmark). #writingcommunity #writers

#FantasyIndiesFebruary - 9 Anya and Jonah. Two teenagers, idiotic according to their age, confuse pain for love. They're really fun to write. And not inspired by real-life experiences AT ALL. #writingcommunity #fantasy #writers

#FantasyIndiesFebruary - 6 I love the, "Romance forged through adventure and hardship" trope. Is that a trope? Well, i think it's sweet. Nothing says love like bonds forged through battle and trial. ⚔️💕 #writingcommunity #amwriting #fantasy

#FantasyIndiesFebruary - 3 Oh man, I always love making games in my stories; they're such good ways to demonstrate culture and material circumstances. But no games yet in All Else After. Definitely should have a big deception element, though. #writingcommunity #writing #fantasy

I love giving little ❤Likes on #Bluesky because I know I'll actually see more of what i liked, not some incoherent hallucination of what an algorithm thinks I want.

#JanuaryWorldbuilding - 27 Hm. 🤔 The Seven Great Tribes each carry over elements of aesthetic culture. So, earrings, necklaces, patterned clothing, etc. represent traditional symbols of beauty. #WritingCommunity #writing #fantasy

Fantasy Hot Take #1 ✍️ Worldbuilding should serve your Characters, Setting, and Plot. 🗺 At best, Worldbuilding is set dressing that facilitates more important elements. At worst, it's self-indulgance. #writingcommunity #writingq #writingadvice

#FantasyIndiesJanuary - 27 My WIP is all about travel and adventure. Almost every chapter is in some other corner of the world. I want to show a lot of the world and situate my characters in it. #WritingCommunity #writing #fantasy

Really digging the current Bluesky trend of, "We're all going to die in unspeakable agony in the very near future and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it" posts. Definitely makes me want to participate.

New #worldbuilding task: design a religion where its clergy are intelligent, sensible, and kind but also are socially-awkward mouthbreathers who turn people away from an otherwise fine faith by being just a little too excited.

#FantasyIndiesJanuary - 20 The Ministry is the theocratic government of Ardenheim. It's also, of course, the primary church. Their dogma centers around Cullarden (3rd photo) and His visions and studying His origins. #writingcommunity #writing #fantasy

#FantasyIndiesJanuary - 19 I'm a huge sucker for back-and-forth dialogue scenes. No dialogue tags or actions, just dialogue. Letting my inner Vonnegut out. #writingcommunity #writing #fantasy

Consider: Top Chef but for writers. Quickfire challenges to write killer microfiction. Elimination challenges to plot entire novels and write a polished first chapter. Judges read your work out loud. Typos are met with waterphone SFX stings. Chapbook Wars ...consider🤔🤔🤔 #writingcommunity

#JanuaryWorldbuilding - 11 Almost everyone in Ardenheim admires Blind Dominic, the first Declarer (someone who can understand and interpret Cullarden's divine words). But Helia really respects her mentor, Samuel, a heterodox Declarer. #writingcommunity #writing #fantasy
